Son whips dad in closed race
Yea thats right I got my butt handed to me this afternoon from my son who was driving my 760 turob-diesel, I was in a 84 RX7 that we were test driving prior to purcase.
We went to a parking lot after he suggested the race thinking that an older 12A was going to keep up with the Volvo. We had about 1/8 mile of closed parking lot to consume along with additional dirt on the south end, it was for the local ice arena. Anyway we lined up and I dropped my hand as a signal and by the time I got to 2nd he was already into 3rd and coming close to the shutdown... I launched hard in the RX slipping the clutch at 6000 for the first few feet. Felt pretty good but thats about the time I noticed the 760 taillights ahead of me!
He will never let me live that one down!

It's one thing to "punch it" and get an idea how the car runs at WOT; however, it's entirely different to be launching a car from a stop. But whatever, if someone wanted to buy one of my cars, they sure as hell wouldn't be drag racing it to get an idea how fast it is.
